Compared to the revision of water charges, sewerage charges have also been increased with effect from August 1. Sri Lanka Latest News
This is from a special gazette notice issued by the Minister of Water Supply and Estate Infrastructure Development Mr. Jeevan Thondaman.
Accordingly, even if there is zero usage in a particular month, monthly sewerage service charges are payable.
In addition to the water supply of the Water Supply Board, when using some other alternative water sources, the customer must pay an additional fee determined by the General Manager of the Water Supply Board from time to time as the usage fee.
In the event that only sewerage services are obtained without water supply, the water supply board officials shall set the sewerage charges at an estimated value determined after a field inspection with the participation of the consumers.
Customers who fail to pay their water and sewerage bill within 30 days of receipt of the relevant month’s water and sewerage bill will have their water supply and sewerage service disconnected.
